Tests and Application of Differential Pressure Micromanometer to 305 Building Instrumentation (open access)

Tests and Application of Differential Pressure Micromanometer to 305 Building Instrumentation

Report discussing tests conducted in an attempt to adapt a micromanometer for use in measuring variations of about 0.003 mm Hg in atmospheric pressure. Additionally, a method for making full use of the micromanometer sensitivity and extending its range is described.

Thermogalvanic Effects Between Aluminum Slug Jackets (open access)

Thermogalvanic Effects Between Aluminum Slug Jackets

Report discussing an experiment testing the severity of attack of an aluminum slug jacket containing one or more spots hotter than the rest of the jacket. These conditions match those likely to exist in a poorly bonded slug.

Transformation and Magnetic Phenomena Occuring in Boron Stainless Steel Vertical Safety Rods (open access)

Transformation and Magnetic Phenomena Occuring in Boron Stainless Steel Vertical Safety Rods

Summary: "The low carbon 18-8 stainless steels containing approximately 1.7 per cent boron used for vertical safety rods at Hanford were found to be structurally stable in the temperature range 0-450 C. The addition of boron decreases the stability of this metastable austenitic alloy. Sufficient ferrite formation is induced by sub-zero temperature treatments to result in dimensional changes and a magnetic alloy. The difficulties encountered in machining this material are believed to be due primarily to segregation in the castings resulting in small areas of the hard intermetallic compound, FeB."

A Method for the Analysis of Radionuclide Mixture Using a Gamma-Beta Scintillation Spectrometer (open access)

A Method for the Analysis of Radionuclide Mixture Using a Gamma-Beta Scintillation Spectrometer

The following report describes a beta and gamma scintillation detector similar to what was used in previous decay studies, yet was modified to make it suitable for the analysis of mixtures of radio-nuclides.

The Analysis of TBP Process Streams for Calcium with the Flame Photometer (open access)

The Analysis of TBP Process Streams for Calcium with the Flame Photometer

Summary: A method was found for determining calcium concentrations in TBP process streams in spite of serious interferences bysodium, ferrous, uranyl, sulfate, phosphate, and sulfamate ions as well as by TBP. The precision attainable varied from sample to sample, depending upon its composition. In general, errors of 20% or greater occurred. The smallest determinable amount of calcium was about 10 mg/1.

Factors Affecting the Concentration of TBP Plant Wastes (open access)

Factors Affecting the Concentration of TBP Plant Wastes

Introduction: "The problem of determining the properties and necessary controls on the TBP Plant waste disposal to eliminate transport line plugging and to permit higher concentration prior to return of this to the tank farms was studied. A report of preliminary findings was made to L. W. Finsh on January 31, 1953. This report compiles information in the aforementioned report and findings since its issuance. Previous studies related to this problem are summarized in the U. R. Technical Manual, HW-19140."

Investigation of Explosive Characteristics of Purex Solvent Decomposition Products (Red Oil) (open access)

Investigation of Explosive Characteristics of Purex Solvent Decomposition Products (Red Oil)

Abstract: "Laboratory production of an explosion between UNH and "red oil" under calcination conditions has been accomplished. Attempted production of a vapor phase explosion was unsuccessful below 150-160 C. Since such severe conditions are necessary to obtain an explosive reaction, it appears that present Purex plant design is adequate to avoid explosive conditions."

General Flattening and Power Curves (open access)

General Flattening and Power Curves

Introduction: "In the evaluation of pile designs it is necessary to know how the production varies with the number of tubes. It has been possible to solve the problem in terms of some general parameters whose values may be quickly computed for any specific design when the pertinent information is available."
